Why isn't this working?

[robin105]

I worked with codes MUCH harder then this but for some reason this simple code isn't working! Why:confused:!

on (keyPress "a") {
_root.inv._visible = true;
}
on (keyPress "i") {
_parent.inv._visible = false;
}


Thanks if anyone can help me ;). Btw I did a lot of google searching but I didn't find anything that works :-( :(.

BTW only the true part isn't working! Making it invisible works... but making it visible doesn't :(.

If you add a trace, what does it output?

on (keyPress "a") {
trace("a key was pressed!");
_root.inv._visible = true;
}

Hello,

I was going to say that it is possibly to do with using _root for one and _parent for the other. If it is the same clip the location will be the same so only either _root or _parent is needed both times

But if it is working with the same code anyway then that is always good :)
